Recorded live at Solutions House during Climate Week NYC, this special episode turns the mic over to the audience. In an ask-us-anything session, Joel and Solitaire field questions from the crowd on AI, regeneration, misinformation, recycling myths, and intergenerational blame. They also cover how to talk with people who disagree with you, and how to stay hopeful when climate impacts hit close to home. The episode opens with the hosts asking each other questions: their regrets, their guilty pleasures, and how they handle the stage fright that never quite goes away.
